COMMENTS 
It is good for an artist to hear the reactions to his work. Please email me your comments or questions.
I will post these comments here from time to time.







Bravo le Japonais!!  Armand Avril, painter, Cotignac, France

Isao Miura is one of the most intriguing painters in London today. His paintings, conceived in his own distinctive palette, reflect extraordinary experience and talent, and capture dream-like images that have a magical, almost, mystical quality.   ​Christopher Walker, CEO Christopher Walker Art, London

I truly like your web site, it's beautifully done, stylish and very elegant! It gives people a good idea of your excellent work. I hope I can be around for your next exhibition.   Lourdes Soriano-Rouco, London and Barbados

I'm so touched by your work, deeply touched! I love your colours, the link I feel between your Japanese roots and a more "occidental" view of life. Looking at your paintings I'm feeling like in a fairy tale. Thanks a lot for giving me such an emotion.    Sigrid Decharme, Paris

The website provides a very clear window onto your work - I think the section you have written is unusually strong and I liked it very much. I think I would like to see more of your work- maybe older work in an archive.     Jonathan McCree, painter, London  

I think the site is a great success. It was especially lovely to see the ladders again. The wood sculptures are wonderful.    Peter Hess, London

Love the website! The paintings come across really well. A shame there is no image of you dancing around one of your sculptures!
Daljit & Katherine Nagra, London
